Private Obstetrician Melbourne | Pregnancy Care Cabrini & Bayside
Michael understands that every woman’s journey to parenthood is unique, and his goal is to provide safe, compassionate, and individualised obstetric care that respects your values and preferences.
Pregnancy is a time of significant change, and choosing an obstetrician is an important and personal decision.
Dr Michael Silagy provides private obstetric care for women and families across Toorak, Malvern, Brighton and Melbourne's south-east, from early pregnancy through to birth and postnatal recovery.
As a specialist obstetrician (FRANZCOG), Michael cares for both uncomplicated and high-risk pregnancies, including twin pregnancies, previous caesarean births and pregnancies requiring additional medical surveillance.
Your antenatal care includes regular appointments with Michael, an ultrasound at each visit, personalised birth planning and access to additional midwifery education and support.
Michael offers obstetric care at Cabrini Malvern and Jessie McPherson Private Hospital, with eligible public hospital shared-care arrangements also available.
Whether you are planning a vaginal birth, considering an elective caesarean or seeking advice about your birth options after a previous caesarean, your preferences and individual circumstances remain central to the care you receive.
What to expect during your Pregnancy Care with Michael
From your first antenatal appointment, through to birth and postnatal care, you’ll have continuity with an experienced obstetrician who will guide you through each stage of your pregnancy. Michael’s care is designed to be collaborative, respectful, and focused on achieving the best possible outcome for you and your baby.
At each visit, Michael will perform an ultrasound of your baby, as well as detailed assessments. He will ensure you are understanding of the care plan that has been formulated collaboratively with you to guide you through each stage of your pregnancy.
In the rare circumstances where Michael is unable to attend your birth, this will be communicated well in advance when planned. Michael is incredibly fortunate to work with a team of other highly skilled Obstetricians who will take the utmost care of you when needed.
Michael works collaboratively with other health professionals, offering thorough pelvic floor assessments through partnerships with specialist pelvic floor physiotherapists, as well as education with midwifery colleagues
A Collaborative Care Approach
Michael believes that the best pregnancy outcomes result from truly collaborative care where you are an active participant in all decisions. This means:
Shared Decision Making: All treatment recommendations and care plans are developed together, taking into account your preferences, values, and circumstances
Clear Communication: Complex medical information is explained in understandable terms, ensuring you feel confident about your care decisions
Flexible Planning: Birth plans and care approaches can be adjusted as your pregnancy progresses and circumstances change
Respect for Preferences: Whether you prefer minimal intervention or want all available medical support, your choices are respected and supported
